Download specificationLeaded aircraft fuel is being phased out
Worldwide 150,000 piston aircraft use fuel that will soon be banned. Our zero- emission system is designed to retrofit Beechcraft Bonanza 36, Cirrus SR22T, Vans RV-10, Mooney M20 and more.

Retrofit and replace
Piston engine aircraft
We integrate our proprietary fuel cell system, liquid hydrogen tanks and electric motors into aircraft. Our system is designed to retrofit aircraft like the Beechcraft Bonanza 36, Cirrus SR22T, Vans RV-10, Mooney M20 and can replace a Continental IO engine.
